I'll post mine as well. Good luck with yours and hope it turns out nice!

I ordered a used set of lights to experiment with and tried the heat gun on one and just used a small screwdriver on the other. The one I used the heat gun on would not even come off and the more I tried to pry it off, it warped the outer edge of the housing because it was hot and easily warped. I think heat set the glue even more. The one without the heat basically just popped right off. So when I removed them on the set I planned on using, I used no heat. It did mar up the outer part of the housing a little bit but I was sanding and painting them gloss black anyway so I was able to sand it smooth.
I replaced all my led's with red ones too. I'm just going to use silicone sealant to seal them back up in case I need to re-open them. If mine by some chance show up tonight, I'll have them together tomorrow.
